How was your Valentine’s Day? 💌
Did you celebrate? 🌹 Or maybe… it felt a little heavier than you expected. Tell me in a comments What did you actually do on February 14th? how it was? lets talk a bit about history of this holiday. It traces back to Saint Valentine, a 3rd-century Christian martyr. According to later legends, he secretly married couples when it was forbidden under Roman rule ❤️‍🔥 Whether historically precise or not, one thing is clear: Love was once framed as courage. 👏 Today it often feels like a public evaluation.😅 Who posted what? Who received flowers and gifts and who didnt? Who is “behind.”? And that shift changes the psychological impact of the day. What actually happens to people psychologically? 🧐 Research shows that around Valentine’s Day: 📊 40–50% of adults report increased feelings of loneliness (including people in relationships). Here’s how it tends to look across February: Reported Loneliness (approximate trend) January baseline ████████ ~28% Early February ███████████ ~35% Feb 14–16 ████████████████ ~45–50% Late February ██████████ ~32% Why does this happen? Valentine’s Day acts as an emotional magnifier 🔎 It activates attachment systems. For people with anxious attachment: — fear of not being chosen — comparison — “Why not me?” For avoidant attachment: — irritation — distancing — emotional shutdown For secure attachment: — the day feels pleasant or neutral The holiday doesn’t create insecurity. It exposes what’s already there. Social comparison makes it worse 📱 Research on social media and depressive symptoms shows that upward comparison increases anxiety and lowers self-esteem. Valentine’s Day = maximum romantic comparison: — curated dinners — engagement rings — perfect captions — public affection Your nervous system reads this as evaluation. And evaluation activates stress. Loneliness is biological 🫶🏼 Loneliness increases cortisol. It activates stress physiology. It affects sleep and inflammation markers. Which explains why some people feel:

12 February 📆 World Reproductive Health Day 🫀
This post is for everyone here. And it’s definitely not “only a women’s issue”. Most people start thinking about fertility only when they decide to “start planning” 🧬 Until then we usually postpone. But here’s the truth: The reproductive system is a mirror of the entire organism. Hormonal balance affects: — weight — mood stability — libido — skin condition — energy levels — confidence — emotional regulation This isn’t about “biological clocks ticking” ❌ This is about resource. About long-term vitality. About living without chronic pelvic pain, hormonal crashes, erectile issues, PMS overload, unexplained fatigue. Reproductive health = systemic health. And ignoring it doesn’t make you modern. It just makes you uninformed. What should you actually do?🌝 Just be responsible. Kind reminder from me: 🤍 For women: 🌼 Book a gynecologist appointment even if nothing hurts. Once a year is basic hygiene. If you have thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, diabetes, or cycle irregularities a gynecologist-endocrinologist is essential. 🌼 Run annual screening: — Pap smear / oncocytology — Vaginal flora test — Hormonal panel: AMH, FSH, TSH, prolactin (cycle days 2–5) — Pelvic ultrasound (cycle days 5–7) 🌼 Check vitamin D and ferritin. Vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency are common hidden causes of cycle disturbances, fatigue, low libido, and mood swings. 💪 For men: Reproductive health is not optional. 😌 Visit a urologist / andrologist at least preventively. 😌 Do a sperm analysis (spermogram). It’s not dramatic. It’s basic diagnostics if you care about future fertility. 😌 Rule out varicocele and silent infections. They are often asymptomatic but can affect sperm quality, testosterone levels, erectile function, and overall vitality. Male fertility is health. Not ego. And here’s the part schools never taught us We were taught math. We were taught history. But nobody taught us about: — hormonal regulation — sexual health — fertility preservation — nervous system impact on libido

Why do we choose the partners we choose? 🤔
This question comes up all the time — in therapy, in sexual healing spaces, and in real life. Why do we feel instant chemistry with some people… and feel bored, blocked, or disconnected with others even when they seem “perfect on paper”? Attraction is not random. And it’s definitely not just about looks or shared interests. A big part of who we choose comes from psychodynamics the unconscious patterns formed early in life 🧠 Attraction is often familiarity, not safety Our nervous system is drawn to what feels known. Even if what’s known wasn’t healthy. If you grew up around emotional distance, inconsistency, or tension, your body may read that as chemistry ⚡ Not because it’s good for you — but because it feels familiar. This is why attachment patterns matter so much. People with anxious attachment often feel magnetized to avoidant partners. People with avoidant attachment are often triggered by closeness. And trauma bonds can easily be mistaken for passion 🔥 Narcissistic wounds and attraction 💔 Unhealed narcissistic wounds play a huge role in partner choice. If deep down there’s a belief like: “I need to be special to be loved” or “I need to earn attention” The psyche may gravitate toward emotionally unavailable or self-focused partners. Why? Because on an unconscious level, the relationship becomes an attempt to: — finally be chosen — finally be seen — finally feel enough This is not a character flaw. It’s a survival strategy that once made sense. Sexual chemistry is nervous system chemistry 🧬 Sexual attraction is deeply connected to the nervous system. High intensity doesn’t always mean deep connection. Sometimes it means: — unpredictability — emotional risk — old attachment wounds being activated Calm, safe attraction can initially feel… boring 😶 Especially if your system is used to adrenaline instead of intimacy. This is one of the most confusing parts of sexual healing: learning to tell the difference between excitement and regulation. Awareness changes choice 🌱

Intensity all the way... I'm very capable of intensity now, and vigilance ... safety in relationships is the next thing I would love to learn

@Irina Grishina thank you
Male sexuality & male vulnerability 🧠🔥
Let’s talk about something that rarely gets discussed honestly. Male sexuality is deeply connected to vulnerability. And for many men, vulnerability is still one of the scariest internal experiences. Not because men are “emotionally unavailable by nature”. But because many were taught very early: Don’t feel too much. Don’t show weakness. Stay in control. The body remembers that lesson especially in sexual situations. When fear doesn’t show up as words Emotional fear in men often doesn’t sound like: “I’m scared to be close” or “I’m overwhelmed.” Instead, it shows up in the body 👇 — erectile difficulties — loss of desire in emotionally close relationships — avoidance of intimacy after initial attraction — compulsive sex, porn, or novelty-seeking — sudden emotional shutdown after sex These are not “performance problems”. They are nervous system responses. Why erection and vulnerability are connected 🧬 An erection requires safety. Not just physical also emotional safety. When intimacy activates fears like: — “What if I’m not enough?” — “What if I fail?” — “What if I lose control?” the body often switches from connection to protection ⚠️ Blood flow changes. Arousal drops. Avoidance kicks in. The body is not broken. It’s doing its job. Compulsive behavior as protection 🔁 For some men, vulnerability feels more threatening than distance. So sexuality becomes: — mechanical — disconnected — repetitive — focused on control, not presence Compulsive sex or porn isn’t about too much desire. It’s often about avoiding emotional exposure. Intensity replaces intimacy. Dopamine replaces connection. And over time, the nervous system learns: Sex = escape, not contact. Avoidance doesn’t mean lack of desire 🚪 This part is important. Many men who avoid intimacy or struggle sexuallystill want closeness deeply. But closeness activates old fears: — being seen — being judged — being needed — being emotionally responsible So the system pulls back. Not because there’s no desire but because there’s too much risk.

I'd say a little bit of both to be honest ... I see a bit of shut down before intimacy and then sometimes during intimacy I tend to see the compulsiveness ... I'm in the process of learning how to lead intimacy in a steady and strong way

@Irina Grishina thank you for your wise words. Almost always vulnerability and loss of control, fear of something bad happening whether it’s supernatural or just bad natured
